Chris Jephcott Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 As I've stated on the review build thread: - Fundamentally, an excellent kit and a welcome release. - Thoroughly recommend the Aires pit to replace the Brassin pit (as it reduces the number of swearing incidences!). - Equally thoroughly recommend the Eduard additional detailing set - thistransforms certain areas from being good into real works of art. Theundercarriage bays in particular - and it's very easy to work with. - Be prepared for one or two areas with poorish fit, but whether this isinduced by the resin, or just by my modelling skills is a matter ofconjecture. I'd thoroughly recommend it - and it makes up to be a wonderfully detailed, and highly beautiful kit at the end of it. So here's my photos now! Many thanks for following...

AndyC Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Great work Chris - the build thread was very informative - and you have achieved a cracking finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Looks superb Chris. I love your base too, really need to learn some skills in doing bases / diorama's. Like the weathering effect, definetly looks like it's worked for a living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Jephcott Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Thank you very much chaps - very much appreciated!! Notty - if you think that the FW190 made you swear and make sacrifices to the gods of filler - this one will do exactly the same to you. And more! Promise. In fact, if I get another one, I'll pay you to take it off me!!! However, the end result is the main thing - and I'm happy enough with it in the end!

bunnylurve Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Looks so good! The weathering is spot on for me. However I never thought i'd hear someone say that an Aires pit is the easier option!!! How bad is the Brassin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Jephcott Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Thank you very much everybody. Very much appreciated! I just saw that I must have caught the canopy when taking the photos as it's gone off centre - I've just readjusted it now though. Thank you all so much for your very kind comments.

Chris Jephcott Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Very many thanks guys! Mike - a kit should never defeat anyone!! There's no such thing as an impossible kit - it just merely stretches the grey matter a little bit in order to find a better solution! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
